The Tears of Isis. The Story of a New Journey from the Mouth to the Source of the River Nile.
London. Chatto & Windus. 1959. Stock ID #38851 "The ancient Egyptians used to believe that the rising of the Nile was caused by the tears of Isis. So it is apt that Richard Carrington should have taken The Tears of Isis as the title of what he calls 'the story of a new journey from the mouth to the source of the River Nile'. Richard Carrington recreates with skill, humour and enthusiasm the character of the great river in its infinte variety of atmosphere and mood, and traces its influence over the people who pass their lives within sight of its water."
